Biarritz II INTRODUCTION
ADVICE TO USERS
This book contains all the necessary fitting and operating instructions for your Triton Biarritz II electric shower. Please read them carefully.
The following points will help you understand how the shower operates: A The electric heating elements operate at a constant rate at your chosen power setting. It is the flow rate of the water passing through the heater unit which determines the shower temperature at any given setting. (The slower the flow the hotter the water becomes, and the faster the flow the cooler the water).
The shower installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified person and in the sequence of this instruction book. Care taken during the installation will ensure a long, trouble-free life from your shower.
B During Winter, mains water supply will be cooler than in Summer. Therefore the temperature of the shower will vary between seasons on any one setting of the temperature control, e.g. if you have chosen setting number 6 as your preferred shower temperature in the Summer, you will have to increase that number during Winter by adjusting the temperature control clockwise (which in effect slows the water flow).
SPECIFICATIONS Electrical Nominal power rating at 240V
Nominal power rating at 230V
8.5kW – (40A MCB rating) 9.5kW – (40A MCB rating)
7.8kW – (40A MCB rating) 8.7kW – (40A MCB rating)
Water Inlet connection – 15mm diameter. Outlet connection – 1/2” BSP male thread.
C The stabiliser valve minimises variations in shower temperature during mains water pressure changes. If changes in shower temperature are experienced during normal use, it will most likely be caused by the water pressure falling near to or below the minimum level. The drop in pressure may be due to water being drawn off at other points in the house whilst the shower is in use. If pressure drops appreciably below the minimum, the heating elements will automatically cut out.
Entry Points Water – top, bottom, back, left or right. Cable – top, bottom, back, left or right. Materials Backplate, cover, controls, sprayhead – ABS. Sprayplate – Acetal. Elements – Minerally insulated corrosion resistant metal sheathing. Dimensions Height - 300mm Width - 208mm Depth - 110mm
If ever the water becomes too hot and you cannot obtain cooler water, first check that the sprayplate in the sprayhead has not become blocked.
Standards and Approvals Splashproof rating IPX4.
DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep through the joint between the cover and backplate, and possibly damage the sealing rubber.

Biarritz II ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 2 Before making any sort of electrical connection within the installation, ensure that no terminal is live. If in any doubt, switch off the whole installation at the consumer unit.
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The installation, supply cable and circuit protection must conform with IEE wiring regulations and be sufficient for the amperage required. The following notes are for guidance only:
3 The shower must be connected to its own independent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT be connected to a ring main, spur, socket outlet, lighting circuit or cooker circuit. 3.1 The electrical supply must be adequate for the loading of the unit and existing circuits.
1 The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V ac supply. If you are installing a shower with a kilowatt rating above 9kW, it is advisable to contact the local electricity supply company.
4 Check your consumer unit (main fuse box) has a main switch rating of 80A or above and that it has a spare fuse way which will take the fuse or mcb necessary for the shower (fig.3).
1.1 The electrical rating of the shower is shown on the rating label (fig.2) within the unit.
4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below 80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then the installation will not be straight forward and may require a new consumer unit serving the house or just the shower. 4.2 You will need to contact the local electricity company. They will check the circuit and carry out what is necessary. They will also check the main bonding.
Fig.2
5 The earth continuity conductor of the electrical installation must be effectively connected electrically to all exposed metal parts of other appliances and services in the room in which the shower is to be installed, to conform to current IEE regulations.

Biarritz II ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 5.1 All exposed metallic parts in the bathroom must be bonded together using a cable of at least 4mm2 cross sectional area. These parts include metal baths, radiators, water pipes, taps and waste fittings.
7.2 The switch must be accessible and clearly identifiable, but out of reach of a person using a fixed bath or shower, except for the cord of a cord operated switch, and should be placed so that it is not possible to touch the switch body while standing in a bath or shower cubicle. It should be readily accessible to switch off after using the shower.
6 For close circuit protection DO NOT use a rewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably rated miniature circuit breaker (MCB) or cartridge fuse (see table A).
8 Where shower cubicles are located in any rooms other than bathrooms, all socket outlets in those rooms must be protected by a 30mA RCD.
6.1 In the interest of electrical safety a 30mA residual current device (RCD) should be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit.
9 The current carrying capacity of the cable must be at least that of the shower circuit protection (see table B).
7 A 45 amp double pole isolating switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm in both poles must be incorporated in the circuit.
9.1 To obtain full advantage of the power provided by the shower, use the shortest cable route possible from the consumer unit to the shower.
7 A 45 amp double pole isolating switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm in both poles must be incorporated in the circuit.
9.2 It is also necessary to satisfy the disconnection time and thermal constraints which mean that for any given combination of current demand, voltage drop and cable size, there is a maximum permissible circuit length.
7.1 It must have a mechanical indicator showing when the switch is in the OFF position, and the wiring must be connected to the switch without the use of a plug or socket outlet.
10 The shower circuit should be separated from other circuits by at least twice the diameter of the cable or conduit. 10.1 The current rating will be reduced if the cabling is bunched with others, surrounded by thermal loft or wall insulation or placed in areas where the ambient temperature is above 30°C. Under these conditions, de-rating factors apply and it is necessary to select a larger cable size.

Biarritz II WATER REQUIREMENTS The installation must be in accordance with Water Regulations/Byelaws.
Mains electric supply (via double pole switch)
To ensure activation of the heating elements, the shower must be connected to a mains water supply with a minimum running pressure of 100 kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate of eight litres per minute (nine litres per minute for the 9,5kW rated model) and a maximum static pressure of 1,000 kPa (10 bar).
Double pole isolating switch Shower unit
NOTE: If the stated flow rates are not available, it may not be possible to achieve optimum performance from the unit throughout the year.
Isolating stopvalve
During periods of high ambient temperatures it may be necessary to select a low power setting to achieve your preferred shower temperature.
Mains water supply
The water supply can be taken from a cold water storage cistern provided there is a minimum head of ten metres above the sprayhead. It must be an independent supply to the shower only. If it is intended to operate the shower at pressures above the maximum or below the minimum stated, contact Customer Service for advice.
Separate permanently connected supply from consumer unit
Fig.4 shows a typical system layout.
Fig.4 Diagrammatic view (not to scale)
Do not use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation. SITING OF THE SHOWER WARNING: The shower must not be positioned where it will be subjected to freezing conditions. FOR EASE OF SERVICING, THE UNIT MUST ALWAYS BE MOUNTED ON THE SURFACE OF TILED WALLS. NEVER TILE UP TO THE UNIT. Refer to figure 5 for correct siting of shower. Position the unit where it will NOT be in direct contact with water from the sprayhead. Position the shower unit vertically. Allow sufficient room between the ceiling and the shower to access the cover top screws. NOTE: Water Regulations requires the sprayhead be ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment so that it can only discharge water at a point not less than 25mm above the spill-over level of the relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed appliance’. The use of the supplied soap dish will
6
Biarritz II in most cases meet this requirement, but if the sprayhead can be placed within a bath, basin or shower tray, then a double check valve, or similar, must be fitted in the supply pipework to prevent back-flow.
Shower unit can be mounted either side of riser rail
Pressure relief safety device A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into the shower unit which complies with European standards. The PRD provides a level of appliance protection should an excessive build up of pressure occur within the shower. DO NOT operate the shower with a damaged or kinked shower hose, or a blocked sprayhead which can cause the PRD to operate.
Soap dish
Height of sprayhead and shower to suit user's requirement
Mains cold water supply (either top, side, bottom or rear entry)
When commissioning, the sprayhead must be removed from the flexible hose, while at the same time the temperature control must be at the minimum flow position. Failure to follow this procedure may also cause the PRD to operate.
25mm minimum
Ensure the shower is positioned over a bath or shower tray because if the PRD operates, then water will eject from the bottom of the unit. Should this happen, turn off the electricity and water supplies to the shower at the isolating switch and stopvalve. Contact Customer Service for advice on replacing the PRD.
Shower unit must not be within an area 1 metre from base

Biarritz II FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL
Fig.6
NOTE: The control knobs are an integral part of the cover – do not attempt to remove them. Important: The unit must be mounted on a flat surface which covers the full width and length of the backplate. It is important that the wall surface is flat otherwise difficulty may be encountered when fitting the cover and subsequent operation of the unit may be impaired. Unscrew the two top and one bottom retaining screws (fig.6) and lift the cover from the backplate. Entry positions for the mains water and electric cable are from the top, bottom, either side or from the back. NOTE: Deviations from the designated entry points will invalidate product approvals. If a bottom entry has been chosen, fit the appropriate cut-out in the top of the backplate (fig.7). If a top entry has been chosen, fit the appropriate cut-out in the bottom of the cover (fig.8). If a side entry is required, the cover will have to be cut out. Carefully remove the appropriate area by using a knife or junior hacksaw (fig.9). If installing a feed pipe from the back or bottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is 20mm (fig.10). NOTE: If entry is from the back, the nut of the compression fitting will be partially behind the surface of the wall (fig.10). This area MUST be left clear when plastering over the pipework in order to make the nut accessible for future adjustments.
Fig.7
After choosing the site for the shower, use the backplate as a template and mark the two fixing holes (fig.11). Drill and plug to suit the fixing screws supplied. (The wallplugs provided are suitable for most brick walls – use an appropriate masonry drill, but if the wall is plasterboard or a soft building block, you must use special wallplugs and an appropriate drill obtainable from most hardware stores). Screw the bottom fixing screw into position leaving the base of the screw head protruding 6mm (0.25in) out from the wall.
Fig.8

Biarritz II Hook the backplate over the bottom screw and fit the top fixing screw into position. Do not fully tighten the screws at this stage, as the fixing holes are elongated to allow for out of square adjustment after the plumbing connections have been completed. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Plumbing to precede wiring. WARNING: The outlet of the shower acts as a vent and must not be connected to anything other than the hose and sprayhead supplied.
Fig.9
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation. DO NOT use soldered fittings within the vicinity of the shower unit. Compression fittings MUST be used to connect to the inlet of the shower. NOTE: An additional stopvalve (complying with Water Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mains water supply to the shower as an independent means of isolating the water in order to carry out maintenance or servicing.
20 mm
Fig.10
Important: Before completing the connection of the water supply to the inlet of the shower, and in compliance with Water Regulations, flush out the pipework to remove all swarf and system debris. This can be achieved by connecting a hose to the pipework and turning on the mains water supply long enough to clear the debris to waste. Procedure: Turn off the water supply either at the mains stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the shower via 15mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe using a 15mm x 15mm compression fitting. NOTE: The inlet fitting is designed to enter a compression fitting only. DO NOT use push fit connectors as full engagement cannot be guaranteed. DO NOT use excessive force when making these connections. Ensure the backplate is square on the wall and tighten the two retaining screws which hold it to the wall. Turn on the mains water supply and check for leaks in the pipework connection to the shower. NOTE: At this stage no water can flow through the unit.

IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the terminal block screws and ensure that no cable insulation is trapped under the screws. Loose connections can result in cable overheating, The supply cable earth conductor must be sleeved. The outer sheath of the supply cable must be stripped back to the minimum. The supply cable must be secured either by routing through conduit or in trunking or by embedding in the wall, in accordance with current IEE regulations. NOTE: The use of connections within the unit, or other points in the shower circuit, to supply power to other equipment i.e. extractor fans, pumps etc. will invalidate the guarantee. DO NOT switch on the electricity supply until the cover has been fitted.
NOTE: The elements on UK models are to 240V specification and will give a lower kW rating if the voltage supply is below 240V.

Biarritz II REPLACING THE COVER Fig.14
The power selector spindle must be aligned as shown (fig.14). To ensure that the temperature control is correctly positioned on the stabilising valve, temporarily place the cover in position so that the splines engage and rotate the temperature control fully anti-clockwise. Remove the cover and position the temperature control knob so that it points towards the No.1 position (fig.15). Position the power selector to the 'STOP' position (fig.16). Replace the cover squarely to the backplate and guide into position so that the knobs locate correctly into the splined spindles. Should any difficulty arise, re-check the points above.

A Offer one of the two brackets to the wall for the lower position only. Note there are three holes in the brackets but two screws will usually be sufficient. However, the centre hole must be used so mark this and either of the other two. Drill and plug the wall. (The wallplugs provided are suitable for most brick walls – use an appropriate masonry drill, but if the wall is plasterboard or a soft building block, you must use special wallplugs and an appropriate drill obtainable from most hardware stores). Replace the bracket to the wall and secure to the wall with the screws supplied (fig.17). Locate the rail onto this lower bracket ensuring the rail engages fully on the bracket. Ensure the indent in the riser rail engages into the cut-out on the bracket end (fig.18).

C With the saddle, spacer and lever parts to hand, screw the saddle two or three turns into the lever (fig.19). Place the saddle and lever into the slider/holder assembly (fig.20) so that the holes align, then slide onto the rail (fig.21). Tighten to the rail by turning the lever. When tight, the lever should be facing forwards and not pointing to the wall. If not, slacken off and remove from the rail. Rotate the saddle and lever 180° within the slider/holder assembly then replace onto the rail and tighten.Ensure the tapered thin end of the spray head holder is in the uppermost position. D Place the rail onto the installed lower bracket. Replace the upper bracket onto the rail and secure the bracket to the wall with the screws supplied (fig.22). E Place a trim cover onto each bracket ensuring

Fig.28
Screw the flexible hose to the shower outlet and sprayhead (fig.29) ensuring the supplied washers are in place at both ends of the flexible hose. Place the sprayhead into the holder (fig.30) and check that it fits correctly. NOTE: The holder is slightly tapered and the sprayhead and hose will only fit from one direction. Important: It is the conical end of the hose which grips into the holder. The sprayhead will not fit in the holder without the hose attached. However at this stage, disconnect the sprayhead and lay aside until the shower unit has been commissioned.

COMMISSIONING The first operation of the shower is intended to flush out any remaining unit debris, and to ensure the heater unit contains water before the elements are switched on. This operation must be carried out with the flexible hose screwed to the outlet but without the sprayhead attached. Ensure the outlet of the flexible hose is directed to waste. Before turning on the electric and mains water supplies to the shower, ensure that the power selector is at the 'STOP' position (fig.33) and the temperature control is rotated fully clockwise to ‘10’, the minimum flow position (fig.34). NOTE: Failure to turn the control to ‘10’ may cause the PRD to operate. Turn on the mains water supply to the shower at the isolating stop valve and then switch on the electric supply to the shower at the isolating switch. The power indicator will light. Switch the power selector to the ‘COLD’ position (fig.35) and wait until water starts to flow from the flexible hose. Slowly rotate the temperature control fully anticlockwise to ‘1’, the maximum flow position (fig.36).
Fig.35
It will take approximately thirty seconds for a smooth flow of water to be obtained whilst air and any debris is being dispersed from the shower. When a smooth flow of water is obtained, rotate the temperature control from ‘1’ to ‘10’ several times to release any trapped air within the unit. Once flushing out has been completed, stop the water flow by turning the power selector to the ‘STOP’ position.
Fig.36
Fit the sprayhead to the flexible hose and place in the sprayhead holder. The shower is now ready for normal operation.

Biarritz II OPERATING THE SHOWER
Fig.37
Ensure the commissioning procedure has been carried out. To start the shower Turning the power selector to the red or blue symbol positions will commence water to flow. To stop the shower Switch the power selector to the ‘STOP’ position and water will cease to flow.
Power selector
WARNING: If re-starting immediately after stopping, be aware that a slug of hot water will be expelled for the first few seconds.
High
To use the power selector The power selector has four positions (stop, cold, economy and high) as shown in fig.37.
Stop
Cold
Economy
STOP is to switch off the electric and water supply at the shower – no flow or power used. Blue symbol is cold water only. Adjustment of the temperature control at this setting will only alter the force of the water from the sprayhead. IT WILL NOT ALTER THE WATER TEMPERATURE.
Temperature control
Single red symbol is an economy setting for using less power during warmer months. Temperature adjustment at this setting is via the temperature control. Note: If the stated flow rate required for the unit cannot be met due to low water pressure, it will be necessary to operate the unit on this setting during the warmer months because of flow rate limitations entering the unit. Double red symbol is a high setting which allows the highest flow achievable for your preferred temperature. This setting should normally be regarded as optimum shower performance throughout the year. Temperature adjustment at this setting is via the temperature control. To adjust the shower temperature The water temperature is altered by increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the water through the shower via the temperature control (fig.37). After obtaining your preferred shower temperature, the number can be remembered and left as the normal setting and should only need to be altered to compensate for seasonal changes in ambient water temperature. NOTE: The preferred number on ‘economy’ will give a different temperature to the same number position on ‘high’.
NOTE: IN NORMAL USE, IT IS IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE WATER SUPPLY PERMANENTLY ON TO THE SHOWER UNIT, BUT AS WITH MOST ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, THE UNIT MUST BE SWITCHED OFF AT THE ISOLATING SWITCH WHEN NOT IN USE.

To decrease the shower temperature Turn the temperature control anti-clockwise; this will increase the flow of water through the shower and be indicated by the lower numbers. To increase the shower temperature Turn the temperature control clockwise; this will decrease the flow of water through the shower and be indicated by the higher numbers.
Power on indicator
NOTE: It is advisable to be certain that the showering temperature is satisfactory by testing with your hand before stepping under the sprayhead. There will always be a time delay of ten to fifteen seconds between selecting a flow rate and the water reaching the stable temperature for that flow rate. WARNING: After any servicing of the mains water supply, always ensure the unit is started on COLD in order to purge any air in the pipework. Caution: It is recommended that persons who may have difficulty understanding or operating the shower controls should not be left unattended whilst showering. Special consideration should be given to young children and the less able bodied. OPERATING FUNCTIONS Power on indicator (fig.38) When the electricity supply to the shower is switched on at the isolating switch, the ‘power’ indicator will light. Low water pressure cut-out If the water pressure falls below the minimum required for correct operation of the shower, power will be switched off to the heating elements preventing any maintained temperature rises (water will continue to flow). Power will automatically be restored when adequate water pressure returns. Temperature limiter During normal operation if an overheat temperature is sensed, power to the elements will be reduced. Water will continue to flow. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently, power to the elements will be automatically restored to the previous setting at the time of interruption. Safety cut-out The unit is fitted with a thermal cut-out safety
16
Biarritz II device. In the event of abnormal operation which could cause unsafe temperatures within the unit, the device will disconnect the heating elements. It will require a visit from a qualified engineer to determine the nature of the fault and replace the safety cut-out device, once the unit has been repaired.

Biarritz II CLEANING Fig.40
Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaning fluids. The shower unit, riser rail, hose, etc. should be cleaned using a soft cloth and warm water. It is advised before cleaning, to turn the isolation switch off, thus avoiding the shower being accidentally switched on.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SPRAYHEAD CLEAN TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SHOWER. The hardness of the water will determine the frequency of cleaning. For example, if the shower is used every day in a very hard water area, it may be necessary to clean the sprayhead on a weekly basis. Sprayplate removal There is no need to remove the sprayhead from the hose. Using the removal tool supplied (fig.40), locate the three raised ’bosses’ into the three recesses in the sprayplate. Hold in firmly and twist anticlockwise (fig.41). This movement may turn the cartridge assembly as well until it reaches a ‘stop’. Hold the cartridge firmly and continue to twist anti-clockwise. Having loosened the sprayplate sufficiently, it can be unscrewed and removed completely (fig.42).
Fig.42
Clean the sprayplate with a suitable brush or preferably leave it to soak overnight in a mild proprietary descalent. Ensure all traces of scale are removed and thoroughly rinse in clean water afterwards. Before replacing the sprayplate, switch the power back on at the isolating switch and direct the hose and sprayhead to waste. Turn the temperature control fully anti-clockwise. Start the shower by turning the power selector to the COLD position. This operation will flush out any loose scale deposits in the unit and sprayhead. Stop after approximately thirty seconds. WARNING Do not use ‘powerful’ abrasive or solvent cleaning fluids when cleaning the shower as they may damage the plastic fittings
Refit the sprayplate by screwing clockwise. Use the tool to screw the sprayplate tight.

Biarritz II CLEANING THE FILTER The inlet filter is situated inside the solenoid inlet (fig.43). To gain access to the filter will require the cover to be removed and disconnection and removal of the compression fitting. Also, depending on the incoming pipework arrangements, if there is not enough slack in the pipework, it could mean the removal of the unit from the wall. When cleaning the filter, do not use a sharp object, as it will cause damage. It is preferable to use an old toothbrush or similar.
